Yes, one thousand players (and counting) have managed to successfully get their brave characters through The Tower Of The Mage Newby, and we're looking for more. It would be hard to thank every volunteer GM who has made this possible, but at present we definitely need to thank zevonian for running the program at full capacity for many years, and chocoladevla and Wynamoinen deserve a shout-out for stepping up to boost us past this first thousand players, with many more to come!

Some fun facts: we've been running the same module for eleven years, updating it for each ruleset as they come along. Eleven years! The first completed NPSG was actually before the module was finalized, run by Symthrell for Sir MADMIKE, begun September 21st, 2007 and finished October 25th, 2007. (A month is fairly quick by our standards, though we've had one player take more than eight years!) The program has expanded since Symthrell and CE2JRH started it, now with more than thirty volunteers running five different rule systems between them, and work is ongoing to build more!

If you're new here, and want to learn the ropes, feel free to check out the NPSG, available in D&D 3.5e, 4e, 5e, Pathfinder, and 13th Age formats. (And if you happen to have purchased a site subscription, you get to skip the line!)

Thank you to everyone who has helped make this site more approachable to new members, with the NPSG or any other welcoming comments. Though we have enough volunteer GMs at present, there is an open recruitment thread for anyone interested in volunteering in the future. Here's to the next thousand!
